Is it the duty of honorable patriotic people in wartime to try to end what they believe to be unjust conduct?

Question

Is it not that very poor conduct, bad behavior, lies about it, attempts to spin it away and the coverup of it that leads a nation or it's military to wage wars less and less effectively and justly in such a way that makes wars drag out longer, victories much more difficult or impossible to achieve or even define and futher encouraging even worse behavior sliding ever further down a slipperly slope? Does it lead the nation, it's leaders, it's military and it's people to self delusion? Is truely always trying to honestly and justly conduct ourselves in all our endevors instead of just trying to appear that way what keeps us honest, just, grounded, and good?

doesn't supporting your nation mean trying to make sure it's doing the right thing and realizing that it isn't always going to do it without the effort by it's people to make sure it does?

If you don't get my drift on the first read through just try it again a little slower and a little more focassed, I'm only trying to be precise in what it is I'm trying to say

With all due respect to your opinion, the question wasn't aimmed at any particular party or had any intention to overthrow the government whatsoever, I'd just like washington to clean up it's act a bit.
I think better enforcement of ethics laws we already have, trying to avoid future mistakes, fully respecting our rights and liberties and the main stream media putting a more critical and thoughtfull eye towards where we go from here will help the war be fought more effectivly, justly, ethically and will help in winning it more quickly and help make more allies and less enemies.

Answer 1

most definitely, morally and as a human being of integrety it's your duty to stop it any way possible.

Answer 2

Of course. As long as your efforts are aimed at making your country better and more just, you are doing your patriotic duty.

Opposition to a war or the conduct of a war is not unpatriotic. I say this as someone who supported and served in our most recent war.

Answer 3

Stan S & patriotric have no business in the same sentence.
It is okay to disagree with policy & vote the way you see fit. It is not okay to critciize the military for doing their jobs. You are delusional if you think we need to read slower to understand your left winged question. An IQ of 169 gives the right to say, you are way off base. Who died & made you the moral compass of our country? I will have to remove that right from you - you do not speak for me!!!!!

Answer 4

Yes. Patriotism is standing up and defending the principles our country was founded upon. In the US, that means defending the Constitution.

Against all enemies of the constitution, foreign and domestic.

Answer 5

I'm hoping you have the answers, because I sure the hell don't! I'm afraid your questions are entirely too wordie, they don't make any sense. You need to get some of the clutter out of your written word, so dumb @sses like me can get your drift.
